Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning System?

May 13, 2019

ductless-blowerWe’re not here to tell you how you should cool your home. We are here, however, to help you understand your options when it comes to the different ways in which you may choose to cool your home. There are a lot of different systems available to homeowners today. In fact, there are so many systems that it can be difficult to figure out which one is the best choice for your home and needs.

One option that we definitely recommend you consider is the ductless mini split. Ductless air conditioning in Chesterfield, MO, has really gained popularity over the years. After reading this post, we’re sure that you’ll see why. If you have any questions or if you are ready to schedule professional air conditioning services, then ours is the number to call. First, though, let’s get you more acquainted with the benefits that going ductless has to offer.

It Offers Your Greater Control Over Your Cooling Experience

If you use a forced air AC system with ductwork to distribute cooled air throughout your home, then you can use a zone control system to adjust how you use that system throughout different areas in the house. If your system was not installed with zone control equipment, though, it can be tough to retrofit a system. Plus, you may need to upgrade certain components to integrate zone control capability into your central air conditioner.

With a ductless mini split, on the other hand, zone control is just part of the package. These systems use individual, wall mounted blowers in order to distribute conditioned air throughout the house. Each blower is controlled independently of the others. That means that you can adjust temperatures in the bedrooms without keeping them frigid just so that you can keep a crowded living area cool, too.

It Installs Easily

Well, more easily than a full central AC system would, particularly in existing properties. If you’re looking to install a whole-house cooling system in a property that doesn’t already have ductwork in place, then going ductless is probably your best option. Is it impossible to install air ducts in existing homes? No, but it’s not an easy—or cheap—undertaking.

With a ductless mini split, the indoor components connect to outdoor units with power, refrigerant, and drainage lines. In most cases, you’ll just need a hole smaller than 3″ in diameter drilled into the wall to accommodate the installation. That’s a lot less intrusive than installing ductwork would be, even under ideal circumstances.

It Can Save You Money

While ductless mini splits may not be cheap—and “cheap” shouldn’t be your main criteria when shopping for an HVAC system, anyway—they can save you money in the long run. Because you know what air ducts are really good at? Leaking air.

Even when properly installed, duct seals can degrade over time, pests can get at the ductwork, and it can even be damaged during projects like home renovations. Plus, you don’t have to worry about poor insulation allowing for heat transfer. With ductless mini splits, you cool areas of your home directly.
